With a total time of 3:41:37, her overall pace was 16:55 min/mile, which reflects a considerable improvement over her 2024 performance of 17:26 min/mile. She finished 4891st overall out of 5623 participants and ranked 494th in her F30-34 division. Analyzing her splits, Katlin maintained consistency and gained momentum in the latter part of the race. Her fastest mile was the tenth with a split time of 14:01, while the ninth mile was more challenging, clocking in at 17:35.
